Former Tottenham scout Bryan King has urged the club to get rid of Fraser Forster after his impressive performance against Coventry City.
Forster, who is not the second choice goalkeeper at the club behind Guglielmo Vicario started the game for Spurs in the League Cup on Wednesday.
However, his performance has come under criticism after Coventry came close to knocking the North London outfit out of the tournament.
The home team took the lead in the second half and had several more chances to secure their win but failed to convert.
Spurs put on a late fight, scoring two goals in the final few minutes to win the tie.
However, questions have been asked about the goalkeeper’s performance with King claiming that he is not suitable to be the second choice goalkeeper.
Speaking to Tottenham News, King said:
“It looks like it is going to be a long hard season.”
“Spurs weren’t in the game at all. Coventry had chances to kill the game off, but they didn’t, and that is football.”
“The two goals that Spurs scored were very well worked. That is the difference between the Premier League and the Championship. One great pass in the Premier League is two passes in the Championship.”
“As for Forster, I think Tottenham should be looking for a new number-two goalkeeper the way he is.”
It is possible that the club could turn to Brandon Austin as the more regular second choice goalkeeper going forward.
He started on the bench regularly in the latter stage of last season and was a regular feature in the pre-season as well.
Austin also signed a new long-term contract with the club in the summer which would suggest that the club see him as part of their long-term plans.
